journal imagesUMCES researchers are recognized worldwide for their contribution to expanding our understanding of coastal, marine and terrestrial ecosystems. That contribution is most evident in the number and quality of peer-reviewed journal articles published each year.

The UMCES in the Publications database is a searchable listing of our contributions to the scientific community.

You may search by author, subject, year, etc.



Enhanced Detection of Wetland-Stream Connectivity Using LiDAR
Wetlands
2012

The spatial relationship between wetlands and streams influences their structure and function, and is currently tied to the regulatory status of wetlands.

Bridging the gap between empirical and mechanistic models of aquatic primary production with the metabolic theory of ecology: An example from estuarine ecosystems
Ecological Modelling
2012

Numerical models typically predict phytoplankton production by calculating an exponential response to water temperature to set maximum rates that are reduced by light and nutrient limitation factors.

Movement Patterns for a Critically Endangered Species, the Leatherback Turtle (Dermochelys coriacea), Linked to Foraging Success and Population Status
Plos One
2012

Foraging success for pelagic vertebrates may be revealed by horizontal and vertical movement patterns.

Evaluation of electrophoretic protein extraction and database-driven protein identification from marine sediments
Limnology And Oceanography-Methods
2012

Intact proteins comprise a major component of organic carbon and nitrogen produced globally and are likely an important fraction of organic matter in sediments and soils.

Range of variability of channel complexity in urban, restored and forested reference streams
Freshwater Biology
2012

1. Channel complexity is an important ecological property of stream systems and is often targeted for restoration in channelised urban streams.

Tools for the management and conservation of genetic diversity in brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis): tri- and tetranucleotide microsatellite markers for the assessment of genetic diversity, phylogeography, and historical demographics
Conservation Genetics Resources
2012

We document isolation and characterization of 13 tri- and tetranucleotide microsatellite DNA markers in brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis).

Influences of Hemlock Woolly Adelgid-Induced Stand-Level Mortality on Nitrogen Cycling and Stream Water Nitrogen Concentrations in Southern Pennsylvania
Castanea
2012

Hemlock woolly adelgid, Adelges tsugae, is spreading throughout the northeastern United States, causing large-scale dieback of the eastern hemlock, Tsuga canadensis.

A general Landsat model to predict canopy defoliation in broadleaf deciduous forests
Remote Sensing Of Environment
2012

Defoliation by insect herbivores can be a persistent disturbance affecting ecosystem functioning.

Measuring ecological niche overlap from occurrence and spatial environmental data
Global Ecology And Biogeography
2012

Aim Concerns over how global change will influence species distributions, in conjunction with increased emphasis on understanding niche dynamics in evolutionary and community contexts, highlight the g

Relationship of a Landsat cumulative disturbance index to canopy nitrogen and forest structure
Remote Sensing Of Environment
2012

Spatially-explicit knowledge of the timing, frequency, and intensity of forest disturbances is essential for forest management, yet little is known about how disturbances such as forest harvests and i
